WHAT IT WOULD TELL YOU ABOUT ALWAYS BEING READY

A PERFECT OVERVIEW OF ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT

Does your company have more machines than you actually use? Or too few? Honestly, are you even sure how many you have? Manually managing all your machines can be a hassle, especially if you have a lot of them. With Husqvarna Fleet Services, they’re all registered digitally in one place. By logging in to the system, you can see all their types and designations, how much they have been used lately and when they were last serviced.

SERVICE MACHINES IN TIME AND PREVENT COSTLY BREAKDOWNS

A breakdown when you’re out working is always frustrating. You might have to go back to the office to get a replacement machine, or make do with one that isn’t as well suited to the job. Of course this also has a big effect on how much work you get done, often resulting in unnecessary make-up days. But in fact, most breakdowns can be avoided by servicing your equipment in time. This is where Husqvarna Fleet Services proves useful. It alerts you in good time before a machine is due for service, allowing you to schedule service appointments around your planned jobs, as well as order spare parts before they're urgently needed.

MAKE YOUR MACHINES LAST LONGER

How you handle your equipment has a huge impact on its service life and reliability. Husqvarna Fleet Services offers machine handling reports that help you use every machine optimally. By minimizing wear and tear you reduce the risk of reakdowns that lead to costly reactive repairs and unplanned downtime, while also ensuring that every machine lasts as many seasons as possible. Not to mention the reduced risk of accident when machines are used correctly.

WHAT IT WOULD TELL YOU ABOUT A LESS STRENUOUS WORKDAY

KEEP YOUR VIBRATION LEVELS IN CHECK

Working in the landscaping business can be strenuous. To last in the job, you want to make sure you don’t exceed the recommended maximum vibration levels. Husqvarna Fleet Services helps you to do just that.

The app provides you with daily vibration reports so you can make sure you're staying within the limits, and the website's comprehensive overview makes it easier to plan a sustainable working environment for all operator teams.

TIME TO CHANGE TASKS?

Variation at work not only makes your day more enjoyable, it’s also key to reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries. But in real life it can be tricky to know when you're actually in a risk zone, and should switch to another task. Husqvarna Fleet Services provides everybody with the hard facts on just how much they use each machine type – making it easier to plan a morevaried work day.

HOW IT WORKS

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED

Machine sensor

Retro-fitted onto machines, the small battery-powered machine sensor detects engine-on time, engine revolutions (rpm), operator tags, temperatures, and more. Stored data is uploaded to the cloud automatically via the base station when within range of the base station's radio. The machine data is further analyzed in the cloud, providing notification, tips, conclusions etc., which operators, technicians and managers can evaluate and act upon.

Data Services

When you subscribe to Husqvarna Fleet Services, you get access to three services based on the data from the machines. If you opt for operator tags, you also get access to vibration reports, operator statistics and operator workday logs.

Operator tag

The operator tag is about the size of a thick credit card, and connects wirelessly to the machine sensor. The ID of both the machine and the operator is then paired in the cloud, enabling the system to keep track of who is running the machine. This enables the system to provide specific run-time feedback to each machine operator regarding workday log, machine handling, vibration doses, and more.

Smartphone app

The Husqvarna Fleet Services app supports work in the field and increases crew involvement. It allows team leaders and operators to access the workday log, vibration levels, workplace locations and tasks, client details, new leads function, individual tips and video guides on machine handling. The app is available for Apple and Android phones and can be downloaded for free at the App Store or Google Play.

Base station

Each installation requires a base station, which is typically mounted where machines are stored. One base station can serve unlimited number of machine sensors. The base station functions as a server that gathers information from the machine sensors.

Compatible machines

Fleet Services is designed to work with Husqvarna's Commercial Lawn and Garden range of ride-on, walk-behind, and handheld machines.
